Sorry She's Selling Seashells in this Book October 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As a retired elementary teacher who has taught tongue twisters as part of the language arts curriculum, I gladly bought this book for my granddaughters. I was truly disappointed when it came. The tongue twisters are too short! The title one is well known and consists of much more than given in the book. This is true for others the author included. That it was in hardback thus having a higher price made it even more galling. I feel this book would only be appropriate for preschoolers and should be in paperback to lower the price.
